insufficient bm... should i just stop?

im into post partum 1 month. my bm at each pump session averages 50ml only. my baby already can drink 100ml at every feed, even before reaching 1m. tried eating fenugreek pills & even fennel essential oil, latching but no increment of bm. especially disappointed when still have to pump every 3hours for that miserable amount of bm. should i just stop? how else to increase bm?!

Hi mummy, have you tried eating oats biscuits? It works for me. https://community.theasianparent.com/q/mummiessharing-with-about-cookie-that-boost-breast-milk-supplythere/856978?d=mobile&ct=q&share=true Bm works in supply and demand. Have you tried power pumping? And instead of 3 hour how about 2 hour per session? Rmb to check if your flange size is accurate too. And also are you using the right mode to pump. All these are the reason why there's no supply.

I'm using spectra I'm not sure whether is it the same usually I will on massage mode for 2 min to trigger the let down and use the normal mode for 10 min. Back to massage mode for 2 to 5 min back to normal mode for 10 min. I use both side when pumping.
